Q: It appears that CMS allows for HCPCS codes such as C1730 (catheter, electrophysiology, diagnostic, other than 3D mapping [19 or fewer electrodes]) to be associated with revenue code 272 (Supplies) or 278 (Implants). I searched for documentation form CMS and found vague references to both. Do you know where we can find definitive documentation from CMS on which revenue code to associate with these HCPCS codes?
Q: Our team had a recent case that involved a small midline episiotomy which extended to a second-degree laceration which was repaired with 3-0 vicryl rapide sutures. Would we code the episiotomy and repair or just the repair, and why? We are considering ICD-10-PCS code 0KQM0ZZ (Repair of the perineum muscle, open approach) and/or 0W8NXZZ (Division of the female perineum, external approach).
